    Let \(G\) be a finite-dimenisonal symplectic space over a local field of charateristic \(0\) and \(\widetilde{\text{Sp}}(E)\) be the metaplectic cover of the symplectic groups \(\text{Sp}(E)\) with kernel \(\{\pm 1\}\). It is well-known over that there is an element \(\widetilde g\in G\text{Sp}(E)\) with similitude \(-1\) and \(\widetilde g\widetilde x\widetilde g^{-1}=\widetilde x^{-1}\) for every semisimple \(\widetilde x\in\widetilde{\text{Sp}}(E)\). Here this result is extended to arbitrary \(\widetilde x\).
